I think that one of the reasons that COP is sellingcertain assets is perhaps to reduce debt and make thestock more attractive. We'll see!

I have own Phillips, since 1985. I bought it the veryday Boone Pickens, made a foray for the company and bought more on...Black Monday...:) So I have what I have which I think is enough for me. Would I buy more??? That woulddepend on my cash position and the market in general.

And I also hold some XOM, which I consider to be a Bond Surrogate and have it for years.

I think that all three companies that you mentionedare good. Oil, is going to be with us for a long time,30 years down the road at least. Long after I am gone.

If I was younger and had cash I would buy three or fourmore oil companies....
